This pic looks a lot like the RSM 250 Sicce (Italian) pumps where you disassemble it
Is that an outbreak of shag algae?

I found that i got micro bubbles if too much water was going through the skimmer, as there were micro bubbles escaping the exit nozzle of the skimmer. Check and see if this is the case for you. Turn the flow down then increase the until you find the best setting and no micro bubbles. I had to tweak the settings daily while the skimmer broke in.
Once you have everything set, it practically runs itself without the need to constantly adjust things.

Readjusted skimmer and reduced micro bubbles significantly. Think I will need to keep tweaking until skimmer is broken in.
Substrate should be here tomorrow and just ordered fully cured live rock that will be dispatched Wednesday night for delivery Thursday (good excuse to have a days holiday off work) so looking forward to a day of Aquascaping!

have you boys seen the 650 yet in any shops over there ??
Not yet but there are being shipped to some LFS, the 500 looks awesome so expect the 650 will look just as good if not better with being longer
Quick update
Live rock arrived today 50kg of Fijian, also added 90lbs of Aragonite sand. Removed 40 ltrs of water to compensate for additions of rock and sand.
Also added bottle of Dr Tims One and Only. Need to sit back now and wait for cycle to complete, will post some photos when sand mist clears!
